Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Ah, thank you for coming, Aramaki-kun.
I don't believe we had a choice.
The one who badgered the Prime Minister into ordering us to come was you, Chairman Tadokoro.
Now now, don't get upset.
Ever since that theft of electronic funds occurred,
I've become unwilling to trust security companies and the Prefectural Police.
Let us go to the heart of the matter and hear your concerns.
Well... Actually, that hacker...
Hmm, what was her name...
If I recall correctly, it was...
Cash Eye, was it?
Ah, yes. She delivered this warning yesterday.
After that robbery, I decided to convert my assets to cash.
So, my entire fortune is currently stored in this building's underground safe.
I see.
In a sense, that might be the best security you can provide for your wealth.
I thought so myself, but last night, the hacker took remote control of a female house android.
Take a look.
Even though she was easily able to infiltrate the building and come to this room,
she then deliberately destroyed the security camera to alert security about the breach,
and made her escape by leaping from this window, fifty floors above ground.
This would seem to be a message to us that physically preventing the robbery is impossible.
It seems that way.
Judging from what you've told us,
this does not seem to fall within Section 9's jurisdiction.
Considering their superior numbers, I believe it would be wiser to notify the Prefectural Police,
rather than to ask Section 9, which is a small elite group.
Unfortunately it's not that simple.
Tomorrow night, when the theft is supposed to take place,
there will be a certain secret party here attended by several political heavyweights.
Of course, it's nothing illegal.
It's just a private party for those of us who share similar "tastes."
However, its not an event where we can tolerate any uncultured visitors.
In addition, we can neither relocate nor delay the event.
I'm sure you understand.
Important policies are sometimes formulated at such events.
This is why I need help from a source that is capable of discretion.
I will use the security company personnel to boost security.
My most pressing need is to have someone capable of supervising the entire operation.
It appears we cannot refuse, considering that the order has come from the top.
What are you saying?
I now know why the Prime Minister recommended you.
I can almost smell her white blood.
She is not an android.
Oh, my apologies,
but the inorganic qualities of a multi-purpose, full cybernetic body arouse my libido
in the same way as an android does.
She must really despise him. Kayabuki-san, I mean.
Regardless of your personal impressions regarding this affair,
you must understand that she is taking this course of action to push through reforms...
...that have been meeting resistance.
Considering that she also seeks to eliminate the previous regime's lingering traces, it is a just move.
A woman's grudge. How terrifying.
I'm not happy about being made an accomplice to her revenge,
not to mention the fact that I don't think it's a job we should have to do, even if it's to redeem Section 9.
I'm sorry.
A whole pile of even more infuriating things await tomorrow, so don't lose your temper now.
Can you see?
Sure can.
Hey, that guy who just arrived is an executive at Hanka Precision Instruments.
To think that power brokers in the pharmaceutical industry are attending a party
behind their wives' backs to show off their "dutch" wives...
How sad.
Oh, check this out.
We have the former Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He'll never learn his lesson.
Damn.
How depressing.
Hey, the Chief and the Major have arrived.
This'll be interesting...
How depressing indeed.
Whoa, don't you think the man's a bit more enthusiastic than planned?
I wonder.
But anyway, look at the major. She's an instant hit with those freaks.
Holy shit! Someone touched her ass!
Ignorance is bliss, I guess?
All right, let's leave the underground safe's password to the Major,
and get started with our own business.
Check.
Let's head towards the party.
Tachikoma, are you ready?
All done!
We're all done over here, too!
All right, wait for the Major's signal.
You have made a wise decision, Aramaki-kun. Your camouflage is exceptional.
My subordinates are already in position. Discreetly, so as not to disturb the party.
Well, consider our security measures.
Even supposing that the thief makes it into the safe,
I find it hard to believe that she'll be able to carry out all the cash.
I've poured a lot of money into this,
so catch her at any cost.
I understand.
Until the time the theft will supposedly occur, we should all join the party.
How about it?
Would you like a short tour of my home?
It would be my pleasure.
Ishikawa, status report.
It doesn't look too good.
It now appears probable that Tadokoro's underground safe was reinforced with additional security devices.
I've hacked the device maker's server,
but the blueprints of all the newly installed components have already been deleted.
Their information security is very tight.
The hard copy of the blueprints is probably lost as well.
The Major has gone to retrieve Tadokoro's retinal and cyberbrain patterns.
Even is she succeeds in obtaining them,
her efforts won't matter if the safe itself can't be opened.
I'll find another way to open it, somehow.
Hurry.
You may scoff at our outlandish tastes,
but after our exhaustive experience with so many various pleasures,
we have come to find doll fetishism satisfying.
What do you think? Every one of these dolls was custom made by a famous designer,
from constituent parts. They're "haute couture."
Their bodies' functions are not so different from yours.
Would you happen to be interested in trying on any of their bodies?
Major, how is it going?
This really is sexual harassment.
Oh, sorry about that.
I can't help but indulge my habits
Still, that body of yours...
At a first glance, it's just multi-purpose,
but it's actually very elaborately made, down to the very last detail.
Let me guess. Your skin's sensory receptor count must be 16 squared.
Please be patient for now.
I know, but I wouldn't be able to stomach his touch,
so I've cut off input from my sensory organs.
I see.
So, how about a try?
Begin the operation now.
I understand.
Could it be that you want to make love to my body while I am "absent"?
You seem to understand my tastes very well.
Wouldn't it be even better to be able to treat a conscious human being as if she were a doll, instead?
Leaving your sensory input on,
don't make a single move...
Sorry about that, but I don't want to risk letting you continue and giving you a heart attack, either.
So, enjoy the rest in your dreams..
Chief, I've got the retinal and cyberbrain patterns.
All right, let's proceed to stage two.
Roger that.
Batou, Togusa, how are things on your end?
We're just about to start now.
Ishikawa.
Leave it to me.
Hey, this place is off limits...
We've been sent by Tadokoro-san.
Security camera monitor footage switch complete.
Good job, Tachikoma.
Of course!
Stop right there!
Good. Now, we just have to wait for the Major to get here...
I'm already here.
Were you able to get the info?
Of course.
You might just as well have infiltrated Tadokoro's cyberbrain and brought him here.
I couldn't quite do that.
There's still something we need to have him do.
Can't we disable that system?
It's an isolated system.
If you destroy it, the control center will immediately notice that something's wrong.
The system isn't a serious problem.
It's whether or not I can open the safe.
I'll find a way somehow.
I've assessed the safe's structure based on the scale of the materials brought into the Tadokoro Building.
They've deliberately chosen an analog safe with a locking mechanism that features four layers of antiquated locks.
Wouldn't it be better to just bring Tadokoro here?
We can't do that now.
Ishikawa, how about going with Code B?
Yeah, should be a go.
The explosives we have prepared should be more than enough to burn through the door of the safe.
However, our operation will become known at that point in time.
That's unavoidable.
There's another problem.
Even if you manage to break into the safe,
we don't know what traps may be inside.
There may be a double barrier, for all we know.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Since it's not our intention to steal cash, I couldn't care less.
All right. Let's go with Code B.
The rest of us can't get any closer to the safe, though.
Be careful.
Thank you for your concern.
Time to move.
We'll have to get going ourselves to prep for the next stage.
So this is were you were.
Aramaki-kun...
It's already this late?
How is the party going?
No interruptions of any kind.
It is almost the time when the theft is supposed to occur.
Ah, yes.
I hope nothing happens, but...
Chief, please hurry to the control room.
It appears that we have an intruder.
What?!
I wonder if it's almost time...
Tachikoma!
Are you ready?
I've been waiting for you!
I'm ready to go anytime!
I believe the building has switched over to it's internal power generator.
Let's hurry.
Everyone, there is nothing to worry about!
However, considering the nature of this party, we must avoid any accidents.
Please follow our instructions and evacuate the hall as quickly as possible.
Please take a look at this.
This is the one that came here yesterday!
How did the hacker get all the way in there?!
I will send my team there right away.
No, wait.
The hacker apparently intends to break into the safe, but either way she'll be cornered.
Exactly what do you mean by that?
When someone other than myself enters that safe,
double security doors will close,
and they will not open again without my "ghost" generated key.
"Ghost" generated...
More importantly, find the hacker who is remotely controlling that android!
That person is the one you should capture!
Chief!
It appears that the figure we see on the monitors is either a completely independent AI
or a full body cyborg. There is no evidence that a remote control signal is being transmitted.
Then this is the hacker herself?
Yes.
In addition, we just received another note.
Aramaki-kun! Come with me to the safe
and confirm that the hacker's death was legitimate self-defense.
The safe will be sealed off, and a near-vacuum state will persist for a length of time.
Even if the hacker's a full body cyborg, there's no way she can survive that!
What are you waiting for?!
Chief... what about the Major?
Well, how is it?!
Did you find the body?!
It does not seem to be here.
How can that be?
Look closer!
I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting.
It's just that Chairman Tadokoro was so impressive...
Oh, uh...
Major, how did you...
The footage you saw of me going inside was artificial imagery I had a Tachikoma make.
By the way, Chairman Tadokoro...
Yes?
Is it safe to assume that these piles of currency are all yours,
judging from the fact that they are in this safe?
Of course.
What are you saying?
Investigate.
What are you doing?!
Look for the thief's body!
Chairman Tadokoro, our true motive was to make you open the safe yourself,
so we could inspect the serial numbers of the bills within the safe.
We have obtained information that you are managing the rest of former Secretary General Yakushima's hidden assets
so we conducted a secret investigation.
Major?
These serial numbers correspond with those given to us by the Tax Bureau.
I doubt you can account for this legally.
We have quite a few questions for you, so please come to headquarters with us.
We came in to conduct an inspection
Tax Bureau Inspection Division
Please hurry!
How are things going over there?
We're letting them go as planned.
After all, there's a good possibility that more hidden gold will come rolling out if we follow these leads.
Are those people perverts?
Or rather, hobbyists, maybe?
Tadokoro Tsutomu, the former Chairman of Keidanten,
who is also said to have strong political ties,
was arrested for suspected massive tax evasion and laundering of slush funds.
Playing a thief was pretty fun, wasn't it?
Still, I was worried for a second there.
I thought you might become a vacuum-packed Major.
You know, it's called "teamwork" when you let your team members know your plan beforehand.
Oh? Thievery is a profession that includes deception as an ironclad rule.
How long do you intend to fantasize about being a thief?
There's a lot of work to do!
Maybe I should consider a new career...
